We loved this cottage! The host was very excellent with communications and the property itself was the perfect combination of amenities and value. The location was absolutely ideal, conveniently located close to everything and the creek running through the backyard was amazingly peaceful to visit.

Family Birthday Getaway

The house was perfect for a weekend stay. Royale was very communicative, and the house was spotless. We were in town for a family birthday celebration, and we will be back when we come to Ionia to visit family.

Cute home

We really enjoyed our stay. We were in town for a wedding and found this place was 5 minutes from the venue. Hosts are very nice and responsive. Home is older but well taken care of. Very cozy place to be for the weekend in a nice neighborhood.

We enjoyed the space in the house and the setting out back. A very nice clear creek goes by the property. My only regret is that we did not have much time to enjoy the tranquility of the setting because of wedding events.
